If you're planning to go gadget shopping for Christmas, HP has a slew of offers for you as it commemorates its 40th birthday.

The computer maker will have 40 days of offers for its products during the festive season (from Nov 22 to Dec 31).

For instance, its first 3D notebook, the Envy 17 3D ($3,499), will be up for grabs in December. The Envy 3D comes with a 17.3-inch high-definition (HD) 3D display and active shutter glasses. You can fit the laptop with a powerful Intel Quad-Core processor and pack it with 2TB of built-in storage.

If you can't wait, take a look (or listen, rather) at the Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop (from $2,599) instead. Custom-built for music, it's audio system has been enhanced with Beats Audio high performance audio technology developed by HP and Beats by Dr Dre so you'll get deeper bass and sweeter trebles to go along with your tunes.

Desktop fans should check out the cool HP TouchSmart 600 (from $1,899), which lets them operate the computer using multi-touch gestures on a 23-inch HD touchscreen display.

Peripherals such as the sleek HP Envy 100 e-All-in-One slim printer ($469, available in Nov 1) or the HP Mini 210 ($599) netbook are also on offer during the 40 days.

Business users seeking a robust notebook might want to consider the HP ProBook.

The notebook is endowed with features like a spill-resistant keyboard with drains that help protect sensitive electronics and hardware components from minor beverage spills.

The drain system works by utilising a thin layer of Mylar film underneath the keyboard. Spilled fluids are then funnelled through a hole on the flipside of the laptop.

An Intel Core i5 processor, Intel HD Graphics and 2GB memory go onto a motherboard that has Intel vPro technology - a suite of remote management and security features that help businesses' tech support officers service your laptop, even when the operating system refuses to boot up.

Other features include multiple battery options, such as the HP Long Life Battery and the 12-cell ultra-capacity battery, an eSATA/USB combo port, as well as HP software technologies like HP QuickLook 3 and HP QuickWeb.
